The Romance of Grace

The Romance of Grace from Christian author, Jim McNeely III, delves into the depths of the unconditional love of God. This love is unmerited and undeserved by us, yet God, in His humility and absolute love for mankind, came down as a man and gave His own life for us, so that we might live. Come and understand what the grace of God means for humanity, with the vastness of all that grace encompasses, and learn how grace will save your life over and over again in The Romance of Grace.

This book is a love story of epic proportions. What if we came to finally understand why the grace of God is so important? When we do finally come to this understanding that God loved us first and that we can do nothing without His amazing love and grace, we will understand that there is no greater love that a man has that lays down his life for another as the Scripture speaks. Jim McNeely has given readers a love story that will impact and transform their lives. A highly recommended must-read!

Endorsements:

So often we turn our faith in Christ into a forcing mechanism, which doesn't work in any event; and if anything, produces disillusionment or hypocrisy. The Romance of Grace is a prophetic book. I believe that unless we heed its call, to put grace absolutely without condition and frontally as the be-all and end-all of the Good News, we will lose completely, and not just in "the eyes of the world" but in the failure of well-intentioned religious lives that tried to love and never knew how.

It is time, as Robert Farrar Capon put it, to get drunk on grace. Two hundred-proof, defiant grace. That's what you get here in Jim's book. You won't see a list of qualifications, and you'll get no "footnotes." What you'll encounter is grace unmeasured, vast and free. It will frighten you and free you at the same time.

In The Romance of Grace we are confronted with a truth that we may have previously rejected. It seemed too easy to embrace. It lacked obligation on our part and contradicted accusations we have given credence to for the majority of our lives on earth. Yet herein lies the truth—"Not that we loved God, but that God loved us." This book will help to right the plumb line in your life.
